In this paper we present two applications of a new Belief Function-based Inter-Criteria Analysis (BF-ICrA) approach for the assessment of redundancy of criteria involved in Tool Spares Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) problems.This BF-ICrA method allows to simplify the original MCDM problem by suppressing redundant criteria (if any) and thus d
To demonstrate a combinatorial drug loaded nanosheet made of alginate and chitosan which reduces intraocular pressure in a slow and sustained manner depicted by in-vivo studies.The combinatorial drugs loaded were latanoprost along with timolol and nanosheet was termed LATINA.LATINA was fabricated using spin coating procedure and characterized using
Right iliac fossa (RIF) mass is a common condition seen by surgeons.Despite advances in diagnostic modalities, it SOUND SLEEP remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, hence many authors describe RIF mass as temple of surprises.We report a challenging case of a 35-year-old man who presented with a tender RIF mass.Abdominal ultrasonography (US
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a potent flame retardant used in numerous appliances and a major pollutant in households and ecosystems.In vertebrates, it was shown to affect neurodevelopment, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and thyroid signaling, but its toxicity and modes of actions are still a matter of debate.The molecular phenotype re
Automated fiber placement (AFP) is a composite manufacturing technique used to fabricate complex advanced air vehicle structures that are lightweight with superior qualities.The AFP process is intricate and complex with various phases of design, process planning, manufacturing, and inspection.An understanding of each SOUND SLEEP of these phases is
